I forgot to mention, it's ok if you include Cyberbots and Battle Circuit fan fiction too

The Maximo template would have worked really well for 3D Castlevania, I always thought. Especially the whole approach of having a largely western design team. In any case, nice find. The art style is like the current Prince of Persia + FUN.

Man I loved what little I played of the first Maximo.

Was kind of wishing that Japanese developers would pick up that trend -- super-hard precision-based sadistic 3D action -- and instead . . . well. Japanese games, for the most part, just keep getting easier. Dynasty Warriors, et cetera.

Hmm.

Maximo is definitely on the list of games that I plan to play at some point but have absolutely no ETA on.

I'd always held out hope that we'd see Maximo again someday, but I suppose not. So tragic because I loved the first 2 in addition to the Ghosts and goblins games that inspired them. I think I'm going to cry.

The second Maximo is better. It's just as challenging but isn't as annoying as the first one.

Both Maximo games are beautifully done. I preferred the more unforgiving original, than the slightly button-mashing sequel. The sequel had robots though, so that makes it amazing.

That artwork is wonderful though, it's a great pity the studio behind the games was brought to such a dismal end.

The sequel fixes the save point/continue issues that the first one has. For that, and that alone, it's the better game.

The guy who headed up the Maximo project was Japanese, though. The staff probably were mostly, too. I remember interviewing him (kind of.)

So there's that.
